Forcing "Open cross-document links in same window" to be unchecked

Hi All,
I am distributing a PDF document set where there is one PDF with well over a hundred links to other PDFs which are located in sub-folders.
The set will be distributed on USB thumb drives.
It will be simplest for users if they have "Open cross-document links in same window" unchecked.
Is there a way I can "force" it to be unchecked?
During a test, someone got a security warning: "This document is trying to access abcd.pdf" Allow/Block. Why are they getting that message when there is no Internet request?
Thanks very much for all thoughts and wisdom,
David

It works in an older version 6.0
Anyone know how to get this to work in the newer versions?

Open all documents in the same window ?

How in Reader 9 can I configure it to open all documents in the same window instead of as individual windows?
Thanks

Bug report sent to Adobe:
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
MDI removed from Reader 9
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open more than one document.
2. Look at taskbar overflowing.
3.
Results: Customer is pissed off.
Expected results: Happy customer.
Steps to make customer happy: Get your heads out of your ***, and make MDI not just an option, but the DEFAULT. Who the hell thought going back to Windows 3.0 SDI interface technology was a good idea? Please post his/her name, and whoever approved that decision's name publically, because a) they will (or should) be looking for a new job since they just got fired, and b) I don't want to make the mistake of hiring them. I mean seriously. I thought what I was reading on the web was a hoax. I had to check snopes.com to be sure. Do you guys not have a random drug testing policy? For that matter, do you not realize that when a person, that you're trusting to make important decisions that affect millions of people, is sitting at their desk drooling on themselves and can't get out more than a single syllable word, that maybe, just maybe, they're not the person you should have in that position? Is this a product line wide decision? Should I look at scrapping all of my other Adobe / Macromedia products and upgrading to those that support 15 year old technology? Are you going to turn into another Symantec? Hey, lets buy take over great companies with great products, turn the product lines into crap, and then discontinue and abandon them. Seriously, what should we expect for Reader 10.0? Are you going to be upgrading to a console application? Please, please, please for 11.0 can we have it be phosphorous green too? I think Im going to go back to my bottle of wine now

Open new document in the same window as before..how to?

Dear all,
I need to open a image document in a new browser window each time the user clicks on a particular button. The built-in I'm using is web.show_document('URL', '_blank'). But this opens a new browser window each time the button is clicked. The client wants to have open it in the first time in the day (in a new browser window) and later on open the new image on the same browser window. Do not want to open a new browser. I have tried the '_top' and '_parent' but they replace my application.
Is there any way to open the image in the same open window? Please advice.

It is possible to specifiy a named window instead of _blank.
So you could use the following instead:
web.show_document('html/hello.htm','my_window');
where my_window can be anything you want to call that browser window.
However, I have discovered that if you put this in a button trigger, the second time you press the button (if the window is still open) it will not take focus - ie. it remains in the background.
You can get around this by closing the window if it is already open:
web.show_document('html/close.htm','my_window');
web.show_document('html/hello.htm','my_window');
The close.htm needs to contain some javascript to close the window:
<html>
<body onload="closeit()">
<script>
function closeit()
window.opener = top;
window.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Apparently XP SP2 is a little stricter with javascript and may not allow this. Also, not sure if this works in all browsers, I only tried IE6.

Opening a document in the Same Window.

Hello Gurus,

Open external portal link in same window ?

Hello !
I've got 2 different WDP applications (different controllers) in the same Portal environment.
I want to call the second one's url from the first.
Here's the code I'm using:
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("/webdynpro/blabla", "blabla");
window.show();
It works very well but I would like it to open within the original window (cf the '_self' html fonction) instead of outside of it.
Is there any alternative ?
Thanx

Temporarily disable cross-document links in PDF

I am working on a series of PDF files that have cross-document links to other PDF files embedded. What I would like is to temporarily disable the links from opening the cross-document link until I am ready to activate the link and open that specific PDF.
I am familiar with the "Open cross-document links in same window" feature in the Preferences - General tab; however, this does not temporarily disable the links (only toggles how the PDF is opened - same window or new window).
Is there a setting in Reader to temporarily disable these links or possibly a keystroke combination (ctrl + __) ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

{Sigh)...I was hoping there was a way, but it looks like I am stuck with the links being always active.
Thank you,

Opening multiple document in single instance (window)

Someone here mentioned this: "Acrobat 9 no longer supports opening multiple documents in the same window."
This is disappointing.. does anyone know the workaround / hack?
Running Acrobat 9 Standard.
Thanks,
Devin

Unfortunately yes you're correct. The cause was due to no MDI support, which Adobe removed starting at v9.

If I find a workaround worth mentioning, I'll post it here later.
Thanks.

How do I display multiple pdf documents in the same window?

I am sure that this question has been asked many times before, but I have searched the forums and the online help documentation for nearly 45 minutes without a satisfactory answer.
I have just installed the trial version of acrobat pro and I want to open multiple documents in the same window but I can't seem to find out how to do it.
Can someone tell me how?
Thanks

This is the worst thing to happen to acrobat, in my opinion.
The clutter that it creates on my computer and the fact that i cant even see the document title when I have a bunch of them open (because the task bar is too full) is unacceptable.
I never would have changed from Acrobat 8 if I had known, and now I cant switch back (company license).
The latest thing i can find about addressing it is here:

why hasnt any thing else been done about it? I just spent 45 minutes being sent to different departments over the phone, only to be told to submit a feature request.

Back button from cross-document link shows Security Settings pane

I have a PDF with many cross-document links (links to page views in another PDF within the same folder). When users have these set to open in the same window, the expected actions occur: the source document closes (or appears to close) and the destination document opens to the chosen page view. However, once we password protect the PDFs, we notice an odd behavior. When the Back button is used to get back to the source document, it takes the user back to the appropriate spot; however, if the user had their bookmarks pane open in the source document, the Security Settings pane is open instead when Back is used.
So, to summarize:
- Cross-document link from source doc to destination doc, preference set for these to open in the same window.
- Source doc and destination doc both password protected.
- Initial view setting for both docs is Bookmarks Panel and Page.
- User has bookmarks pane open in source doc, clicks on cross-document link.
- Source doc closes, destination doc opens as desired.
- User presses Back button.
- Destination doc closes, source doc reopens to the appropriate location - but bookmarks pane is now replaced by the Security pane.
We'd really like to find a way to avoid this; this is a pretty useless pane to have open and the structure of these docs means that users are frequently going to view them with their bookmarks open. Is this a bug? Is there a setting I can dig for? We think it's not happening in Acrobat 9 (I can't confirm, but this is what my client has said) but is happening in 10 and 11, and also in the current version of Reader.
Can anyone shed any light?

Remember that here you have of community of fellow end-users. Not the Acrobat Engineering team eh.
afaik - It is build in behavior. Similar to defaulting to display of the pages thumbnail pane in the navigation panel when an "insert" page is done.
There is a certain logic to it so it may have been deliberate. As an end-user I'm not appreciative of such. Some "developer staged user assistance" I can do without.

How to open KM file in the same window

When we open KM file by /irj/go/km/docs/... link it is previewed in a new Internet Explorer window.
We changed Targed property to Self for iView navigation in LayoutSet render but the image file is still opend in new Window.
How to workaround this?

We changed Target Window Type property value of ResourceRenderer of Navigation iView to Self.
When an authenticated user tries to open KM file it is opened in the same window if file URL include /irj/servlet/prt/prtroot....
If file URL contain /irj/go/km/docs/.. it is opened in new window.
When an anonymous user tries to open KM file it is opened in a new (popup) window.
We need that anonymous user can open km files in the same window.
How to work around this?
We use light framework.

Open a document in a new window

How can I open a document in a new window? I need to have 2 open windows, with the same document. In MS Office, its "open in a new window". Thanks!

Feature unavailable "inthebox"
This is why I wrote a script available on my idisk:
It is a good script, Yvan, for what it does. However, even with that script it is a long way to the full MS Word functionality. In MS Word, you can change the content in any of the open windows, and the modifications are instantly visible everywhere.
If you have a 20 page document, you can change the first page in one window, the last page in a second window and page 13 in a third window. If you change a style, the consequence of the style change is instantly visible in all three windows, so you can tell straight away if it works everywhere.
With your script, one gets just a read-only copy of the first document, as far as I can tell.
I persist: the full "New Window" function of MS Word is not available in Pages, not even with your otherwise good script.

Making "Properties bar" active in all opened documents OR opening multiple documents in the same win

Adobe Acrobat Pro. / Extended version 9
OS: Windows XP SP3
Hi & thanks for your services.
In acrobat 8 we could open >1 pdf in the same window; this is not available for V.9 & the problem is that full editing is possible ONLY in the window opened last because "properties bar" is not active in other windows but the last one.
So please let us open more than one pdf in the same window for acrobat 9, or make full editing (active "properties bar") available in all opened windows.
I shall also say that generally V.9 is better & more stable than V.8.
With great appreciations.

Cross-Document Links

Good Afternoon,
Is there any way to use Cross-Document links in the Adobe Reader Touch App?
I have a huge manual that i use day to day, it would be quite handy to be able to use this documetn on the Windows Surface 2 with thr Adobe Reader Touch.
As of right now i have not found any way to do this with Adobe Reader Touch.
If it isn't possible right now will it be possible in a future release.

Thanks for the info, Shlomo. I've now spotted the relevant text in the 8.0.2 release notes; that is, that PDF links created in Distiller 8 now work in Acrobat Reader 7. I must have missed it before.
With some new testing I can confirm that cross-document links also now work when the PDF file is viewed in xpdf.
However, cross-document links in Linux Reader 8.1.2 still give intermittent errors that are frequent enough to make any link intensive navigational documents practically unusable. I suspect this particular part of the problem is a Linux Reader 8 issue and not a Frame issue. But at least Linux users can now use Reader 7 or xpdf until Reader 8 gets fixed.

Open page in browser in same window?

I remember a few versions ago I could hit f12 and it would open my page in the same window - instead of creating a new window every time.
Now, I'll have 20 open browser windows in a matter of minutes.
Is there any way to get that feature working again?
Thanks

I got in the habit of F12 from DW many many years ago. Back in the good ole days you could go straight from DW to the browser window without creating a new page. After a few hundred thousand times, it's hard to break the habit - especially when it requires an extra step.
It seems like every program I use requires more keystrokes (or clicks) to accomplish the same tasks than it did 15 years ago. Since DW CC took away all my Coldfusion stuff, I guess its time to start looking for other options.

"Open each folder in the same window" not working

hey guys, just today, I noticed that whenever i double click a folder, it opens in a new window. I went to folder properties, and made sure I checked "Open each folder in the same window," and its checked. I tried switching it on, then off, then restoring all defaults in both those settings and the view settings, and I've tried restarting the computer, even using a system restore point. No Matter what, whenever I double click a window, it opens in a new window, but if I use the navigation pane, or if I highlight a window and click the open button at the top left, it opens in the same window. This is very very very annoying, because just navigating my harddrive, I might end up with 20 windows open to reach just 1 file.
Does anyone know what's wrong? or how I can fix this?

I was experiencing this same issue on my laptop and spent several frustrating hours of searching in vain for a solution. I tried most of the same fixes mentioned here with no success (re-registering DLL's, running the system file checker [sfc /scannow],
turning off the navigation pane, performing virus scans, etc). After almost giving up, I discovered that I only experienced this behavior when I accessed Explorer from the shortcut which was pinned to my taskbar. When I opened the "Computer" shortcut
on my desktop, I was able to open individual folders without having new windows open each time. I suspect that this is related to the new design/function of the taskbar in Windows 7. To get the results I wanted, I opted to revert to the "classic" style
taskbar seen in Windows Vista (AKA the "Quicklaunch" toolbar) by following the instructions here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/
Then, I simply added a new shortcut to "Computer" in the new Quicklaunch toolbar and, "Voila!" - problem solved. Oddly enough, I don't experience the same behavior on my desktop PC which is also running Windows 7. Ain't Microshaft grand?!? (a-hem)
